I'd suggest talking about the different things a Linux server
can do.  Samba, Netatalk, WWW, SSH, LDAP, intranet stuff,
SQL server, app server, etc.

Yeah it's kind of hard to talk about one without the other.
I would be happy to discuss ideas with you.

I think it's kind of a myth that work settings are different=20
from home settings.  Many of the same types of problems=20
exist in both places, and many of us do work stuff at home
(also in that vein, a mention of FreeS/WAN and other
tunneling tools may be good).
